PA New owner

I just bought a clean, very low mileage 87 GXL and had technical questions. I found my answers and more in the FAQ, so I'll just introduce myself here.

I've been driving my NA Miata for several years, but it has seen better days. Upon diagnosing an oil burning issue (piston rings) I noticed the engine was also missing 2 rotors I'll be installing a 13B and taking care of its other issues. For now I got this RX7 as a replacement and I'm very impressed especially with the rotary engine.

I've yet to find any in Pa, there always some in jersey or delaware though. The Northeast section is a good place to see what's happening in our area. I've seen a handful of 7's around here, but always seems they're not a member here.

Guys, we should start our own meets in southeast PA. Me and another member on here live about an hour and 15 minutes north of philly, so that's two more.

That sounds like a good idea, I've driven 200+ miles to Miata meets so I wouldn't mind at all.

All we need is a meeting place, and in my case a navigation system. Any ideas?

That sounds like a good spot, it's actually roughly 10 minutes from me, but it's also pratically right off the 95 street road off ramp.

Cool, I'll see if I can make it to some before the cold sets in. I'm still working on getting everything back together right now though.
